Download anki deck sent to me

I am trying to import an Anki deck sent to me via Gmail, however, when trying to do so, a message appears saying that it will delete my existing collection and replace it with the data from the file I am importing. Is there a way for me to add a deck without having to delete my current deck?

The person who sent you the file should export a deck package (with the extension .apkg), not a collection package (.colpkg).
